This past week was fun as the news outlets covered our paper<\/a> on the HD 106906 stellar flyby. \u00a0I made a\u00a020-second video<\/a> for YouTube that is approaching 5,000 views. \u00a0I also created a\u00a0longer video<\/a> to summarize the science in greater detail which has 1,000 views. \u00a0Outside of the US, people in Poland<\/a> watched the videos the most at first, but a few days later\u00a0Spain<\/a> took over. \u00a0Dzi\u0119kuj\u0119 and gracias!<\/p>\n

It was also very rewarding to talk to journalists as they prepared their pieces, such as Korey Haynes for Astronomy<\/a> and Discover<\/a>\u00a0Magazines, and Charles Choi for Space.com<\/a>. \u00a0Our research was also covered in a second\u00a0Discover Magazine<\/a> article because the exoplanet HD 106906 b is analogous to the hypothetical Planet Nine in our own solar system. \u00a0In my\u00a0Goodreads blog<\/a>\u00a0I also gave credit to Bob Sanders at UC Berkeley News for his exceptional work in writing our\u00a0press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, we were thrilled that Nobel laureate John Mather<\/a> sent us a message praising our research and exploring a possible future collaboration to directly image other planets in the HD 106906 system. \u00a0Yes, we have a lot more to discover about this enigmatic exoplanetary system!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
